Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 288

After discussing the selection of maidservants, Li Chengqian took his eldest grandson Wuji back to the Chengqing Hall. He didn't want to discuss with his eldest grandson, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, so it would be nice if he could get a little clean.

"Your Highness, it's only now that your Majesty said this, and the old minister came to his senses. When did you know that they were unreliable? From the first year of Zhenguan to the present, there are basically no maids and servants in the East Palace. The ones left now are also the people of the former Crown Princess. , the East Palace can now be said to be the only pure land in the palace."

Although Changsun Yue is his daughter, since she accepted the posthumous title of the royal family, she is still a member of the Li family after death. As a courtier, he is not qualified to call her by her first name.What he can't understand is that Li Chengqian seems to have started to pay attention to this issue. Could he also follow Li Chunfeng's deduction?
No, these two people have nothing to do with each other, how could Li Chunfeng teach him the secret of Taoism.Changsun Wuji's current expression is as if he is looking at a magic stick. This is like a Taoist priest who is proficient in the Book of Changes, seeing a liar in Chang'an City who is bluffing and deceiving fortune-telling. He is also a person who is proficient in Taoism, so he thinks so .

"Uncle, it's not as complicated as you think. Gu is not a fortune teller, and he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head. How can he know what they will do in the future. It's just that Gu always has the attitude of Zhang San coaxing the children to them, that is. I can't believe it. No matter how strict the palace rules are, there are loopholes, but the military law is ruthless, so the system of employing people in the East Palace is different from other places."

After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, Changsun Wuji nodded knowingly, not to mention that Li Chengqian's method was another way, those soldiers were all stubborn, and no one was a bird except their own commanders, generals and military law.

As for saying that you want to bribe them, don’t even think about it. The Seven Forbidden Laws and 54 Cuts are no joke. Those soldiers are guys with no background. .

"Uncle, come, drink tea, there is only one thing that I am very curious about, that is, the four years of Wude that you mentioned in Wude Hall today, tell me what happened, only to see the emperor's bitterness and hatred !"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Li Chengqian dragged him here for this reason, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Your Highness, this is not your temper, isn't it that you have never been ignorant of these things?" Are you caring? Today is it?"

Hehehe." Uncle, my cousin must have told you about Lizhi and the others' affairs with Jiang Guogong's mansion. Chen Shuda also told Gu about the four years of Wude that day. What happened in the four years of Wude? What happened recently? Does everything have something to do with the four years of Wude?"

What Changsun Wuji said was right, Li Chengqian was never a gossip person, even if the protagonist of the gossip was his father.But recent events were too strange, to the extent that he had to ask.

Chen Shuda?The old man was a servant of the province at that time, and he had a certain personal relationship with Emperor Wude, so he must know a lot of court secrets, and it must not be a trivial matter that the crown prince can attach so much importance to.Although curious, since the crown prince doesn't say anything, I should also pay attention to the identity of my relatives, and don't ask if I shouldn't.

Taking a sip of tea, Changsun Wuji said while recalling: "In the fourth year of Wude, His Majesty was the King of Qin at that time. Because he offended Concubine Wan Gui who was in charge of the harem, most of the concubines who were assigned to the Prince Qin's mansion were from official slaves. Sisters Wei, Yang, Yin, Dao Miaolian and others."

Li Shimin was born as the second son of Tang Guogong, and became a county duke at a young age. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he was promoted to be the first prince. Due to the situation, it is simply impossible to refuse.

After all, Concubine Wan Gui was able to intervene in the affairs of the harem because of "the emperor's personal gift", and her decision to disobey Concubine Wan Gui was to disobey Li Yuan's will. Prince Li Jiancheng dropped a ready-made handle.

It's just that Li Shimin could be forced to accept these concubines from lowly slaves for a while, so he complained to Changsun Wuji more than once in private.

Oh, Concubine Wan Gui, she is indeed a difficult person. If Li Yuan hadn't been in power for a short time, it would be a matter of time before she became a queen.Li Chengqian clearly remembered that when he first became the crown prince, Empress Changsun often went to ask for instructions on palace affairs, and he also went with him a few times, so Li Chengqian had a particularly deep memory of this woman.

"Uncle, according to what you said, the father was voluntary, but it seems that he dotes on those concubines, how is this different from what you said?" Li Chengqian raised his own question, not because he couldn't trust the eldest grandson. Wuji, but this is not the same as what he saw, no, it should be quite different.

"Your Highness, once they lose their family status and become lowly slaves, it doesn't matter which powerful family they are, because from now on, their status as official slaves will be the biggest stain in their lives.

What's more cruel is that, in order to facilitate the management of these official servants, every October, the official servants above the yellow mouth will be sent to burn noodles, and then they will be inspected by the official Cao of the Ministry of Punishment.Concubine Wei and the others were also exempted from face-burning when they were formally concubine of the King of Qin. You are familiar with them, you should know this. "

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued: "After nine years of Wude, in order to stabilize the situation in the court as soon as possible and gain the support of the aristocratic families, His Majesty not only raised their ranks, but also raised their ranks." They go to contact their own mother clan.

What's more, over the years, they have been loyal to His Majesty and have given birth to so many princes and princesses, so their attitude towards them is getting better every day.

Give a few examples and you will understand that in the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Wude didn't intend to move out of Taiji Palace, but it was the empresses and concubines who put pressure on Pei Ji, that's why they moved to Da'an Palace. .”

Oh, it makes sense to put it this way, the emperor who loves himself is wise and mighty, and his father sometimes eats soft food.Besides, what Changsun Wuji said is right, the emperor is also a human being, and after spending a long time together, he will naturally develop true feelings.

Then he shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Look, father is the one who is romantic and the world is right. Look at Gu again. Apart from criticizing this chapter, every day is just a court meeting. That's the difference."

Hehehe. "Your Highness, there is no other way. Who made you the crown prince! Besides, it's not that your majesty didn't give you any rewards. Didn't he decree that you can sit there and discuss matters while you are in prison? " After finishing speaking, he pointed to the position of the dragon chair.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help waving his hands: "Come on, it's hard and tall, and it's definitely uncomfortable to sit on. I'm just a young slave who likes to jump on it. It's more comfortable to sit here alone."
